The book's foreword states the following:
IN this day and age, it is popular to research one's roots. If you were a member of the Presley family, you would want to go to Tupelo where he was born, then to Memphis where he began his first recordings at Sun Studios. But if you wanted to know the defining moment when he came of age, spread his wings and began to fly... if you wanted to see "where it all began",then you'd travel to Shrevport, Louisiana and walk the halls of the Municipal Auditorium where Elvis honed his craft some fifty years ago on the stage of the Louisiana Hayride.
On October 16, 1954, a young, unpolished and even shy 19 year-old Presley walked out on the stage of the Louisiana Hayride and changed not only the face of the show, but the face of music forever. On, a moment's notice, I was elected to orchestrate that incredible moment and introduce Elvis to radio listeners worldwide. Neither Elvis nor I knew how important his Hayride debut would become to so many people around the world, and there was no predicting his meteoric rise to stardom. We watched him go from earning less than $20 a week to $200 to $2,000 and more in the short span of 18 months he was on our show.
In this book, Joey Kent and I have put together a collection of pictures and memories in an attempt to recapture the moments that turned the musical world around. Relieve them with us as we journey back in time to a much more gentle era, where a slight movement of a leg was enough to gain censorship on the new medium of television. Times have indeed changed.. and change is constant, so enjoy the moments. They won't be back.
There are 168 pages in the book. The book is in new condition and was barely opened to look at a few pages.
This is a must have item for every Elvis fan!
I will ship this book Media Mail for an additional charge.
I am asking $25 BO for this book. Martin (716) 824-6753
